What Your Support Makes Possible
Roof for the Receiving Vault
Through a partnership with Johnson College, we placed a roof structure on the Receiving Vault in the spring of 2025. This will help preserve this unique structure from further deterioration. Donation paid for the materials used for this project and students provided the labor as part of their learning experience.
Removing Dangerous Trees
There are dead or dying trees at various places in the cemetery that pose potential dangers to both grave monuments and visitors. With the help of donations, we are gradually having these trees professionally removed. Trees and limbs that come down during storms are removed by a combination of volunteers and professionals, as needed. Whenever possible, we offer cut wood free to the community.
Lifting Fallen Monuments
We are gradually working our way around the cemetery, lifting and restoring toppled monuments. This work is possible thanks to donated funds, as well as donated services. Our goal is to restore all fallen monuments within the cemetery.
Documenting Unmapped Sections
We have discovered various unmapped portions of the cemetery that were usually areas set aside for low-cost burials. These graves were marked only by small, numbered metal stakes that, over time, had been gradually buried underground.
